Abakus is the foundation of the founders of Avast, Pavel Baudiš and Eduard Kučera, that brings tools for positive change to Czech society.
We take a complex look at problems and challenges, trying to find solutions together with experts who provide us with important insights into their fields.
Palliative care in residential care facilities for the elderly
Introducing palliative care will make nursing homes a true home for their clients until the very end.
We finance comprehensive programmes with the ambition to create a network of nursing homes able to provide holistic care for people at the end of life in an environment they are familiar with and to further share the acquired know-how.
Palliative care in general practitioners‘ offices.
We believe that GPs are the key to more accessible palliative care. Thanks to systematic and long-term sustainable support and development, their patients‘ last stages of life can be changed.
The goal of the program is to provide general practitioners with education and tools in the field of end-of-life care to improve its quality and accessibility.
Palliative Care in Hospitals
Development of Hospital Palliative Teams 2.0
We believe that supporting the development of hospital palliative teams will contribute to ensuring that as many people as possible receive quality and dignified care at the end of their lives.
We aim to help multidisciplinary palliative teams create a safe space for its members to collaborate, reflect on the current state, and seek concrete improvements in patient care.
„The end of life in a home environment should be available to all. Even to those who have had to leave their original homes.“
